What is bent geometry?
What does "Polymer" mean?
What is "Many Mers"?
What is considered the powerhouse of the cell?
What is the Mitochondria?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed according to this law.
What is the First Law of Thermodynamics?
What does AIChE stand for?
What is the American Institute of Chemical Engineers?
This rule states that atoms tend to gain or lose electrons to achieve eight valence electrons.
What is the Octet Rule?
This type of polymer is known for its ability expand magnitudes its original size when submerged in water.
What is a hydrogel?
What is the difference between gram negative and gram positive bacteria?
positive - stains purple, only one cell membrane
negative - stains pink, two cell membranes
This thermodynamic quantity represents the energy available to do useful work.
What is Gibbs Free Energy?
This color represents safety and is used in AIChE's logo.
What is green?
This principle states that no two electrons can have the same four quantum numbers.
What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?
This quality of polymers makes them appear clear, as light can easily pass through the disordered structure of the material with minimal scattering.
What is "Amorphous"?
Name the two secondary protein structures.
What are Alpha helix and beta pleated sheets?
This efficiency describes the maximum possible performance of a heat engine operating between two temperatures.
What is Carnot Efficiency?
This competition challenges students to design and construct a car powered by a chemical energy source.
What is the Chem-E-Car Competition?
This law states that the volume of a fixed amount of gas, maintained at constant pressure, is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.
What is Charles' Law?
This behavior is observed in amorphous, uncrosslinked polymers, which is described as "localized plastic deformation".
What is "Crazing"?
This process is described as "cell eating".
What is "Phagocytosis"?
This equation of state improves on the ideal gas law by accounting for molecular size and intermolecular forces.
What is the van der Waals Equation?
This prestigious AIChE award is considered the "Nobel Prize" of Chemical Engineering.
What is the William H. Walker Award?
This equation describes the relationship between reaction rate and potential energy barrier. [k = Ae^(-Ea/RT)]
What is the Arrhenius Equation?
This chemical process uses mechanical agitation to create polymers that are not soluble in water.
This type of animal has no tissues.
What are sponges?
Named after two scientists, this equation relates vapor pressure to temperature using three parameters.
What is the Antoine Equation?
What is AIChE's flagship publication journal?
What is CEP or Chemical Engineering Progress?
